Luxurious Gulf-front home with views, porches, and beach access - Moasis
Welcome to Moasis – A Guest Experience Like No Other
Imagine stepping into a home where every detail feels thoughtfully crafted just for you. As you open the front door, the inviting first-floor hallway leads you past cozy bedrooms, a charming playroom, and an intimate living area. Right away, you’ll sense this is more than a house—it’s a haven.
Climbing the stairs, you’re greeted by the heart of the home: a spacious, open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen. The clean, modern design is striking yet comfortable, with sunlight streaming through the windows and a warm glow that feels magical at sunrise and sunset. The Gulf-front views are simply breathtaking, especially from the built-in bench that invites you to pause and soak it all in.
The kitchen is every cook’s dream. Modern appliances, including a dual oven, a French-door refrigerator with a partitioned freezer, a farmhouse sink, and a dedicated ice maker, make meal prep a breeze. Gather around the oversized dining table, which seats ten or more guests comfortably, creating the perfect setting for shared meals, celebrations, or late-night card games.
Stepping out onto the second-floor Gulf-facing porch, you’ll be struck by its thoughtful design—partially covered for shade while leaving the sides open to let the breeze in and maximize the view. It’s an ideal spot for sipping your morning coffee, basking in the midday sun, or enjoying the stars at night.
As you explore further, you’ll discover three luxurious master suites. The second-floor suite is a retreat unto itself, with a plush king bed, a private porch overlooking the sound and bayside, and a spa-like bathroom featuring a shower stall and a corner tub. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of seaside adventures.
Back on the first floor, you’ll find shaded outdoor spaces ideal for escaping the midday sun, along with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and find their own vibe. Whether it's lounging in the playroom, gathering in the common areas, or finding a quiet moment on one of the porches, Moasis offers the perfect balance of togetherness and tranquility.
But the real magic is how close you are to the beach. With direct access from the house, you can step from the property straight onto the sand. Spend your days building sandcastles, swimming in the Gulf, or simply strolling along the shoreline with the waves lapping at your feet.
From enjoying a meal at the grand dining table to relaxing on the porch or running barefoot on the beach, every moment at Moasis feels like a gift. This isn’t just a vacation—it’s a memory waiting to be made.
Come see why Moasis is more than a home—it’s your perfect Dauphin Island escape.

The house is beautiful and the location is one of the best on the island. Thank you for allowing us to host you and hope you get back to the island soon~DIBR
Charles was great to host. He followed all house rules and left the property neat and tidy. We would welcome Charles back anytime to any of our properties and recommend him to other hosts.
I hope you let us know that the cleaning did not meet your expectations. We would have a cleaning crew back out immediately. Thank you for choosing Dauphin Island Beach Rental~DIBR
We had 11 people staying at the property and it met all of our needs. A downside was the ice maker that was advertised, did not work and the fridge ice maker could not keep up with the demands of ice we needed so we had to go buy ice almost daily. While the deck for the pool and hot tub was fantastic, the contractor did a very poor job of clean up. We found several nails/nail strips and chunks/shards/blocks of wood in the sand where we were playing. We made a point to clean up as much as possible but found more daily. I think we all ended up with a foot wound from stepping on something left behind. Otherwise, our trip was great! The notifications about the tropical storm potential was helpful.

Thank you, Robin, for your review. We apologize for the issues with the ice maker and the cleanup left by the contractor. Our team has gone over to clean up the debris, but unfortunately, some of it can get buried and be difficult to remove entirely. We appreciate your efforts to clean up as much as possible. We're glad to hear that overall, your trip was great. We hope to have you back for another stay!
This experience was one in a million. The views were stunning. We loved that we could leave our stuff set up and just walk right out to the sand. It was amazing and everyone loved it. Thank you for this experience.

We had a great time. House was great overall. Few things. All the tubs are stopped up with hair and draining slow. Cleaning overall could use some major improvement. One of the beds had dirty sheets. Bed was full of sand. Access to the house is slightly difficult with the loose sand. Having to carry all your stuff across it from parking is tough. Some sort of walkway would be really nice.

Very sorry you found sand inside the property. Please know you can always call us in the future, we would have been glad to send a cleaner back out if it was not as it should have been. ~Dauphin Island Beach Rentals (DIBR)
The property was very nice but it was only “surface clean.” Under the furniture was very dirty. There were bugs on the top floor- big bugs. This is a 6 bedroom property with about a total of 8 wash rags and 10 towels. The garbage can inside had bags in them but the kitchen cans were very dirty. Several of the chairs on the decks were broken. After paying nearly 10,000 dollars for a weeks stay, we were sort of disappointed. It was very spacious with the table fitting 12 people. That was nice.

Brenda, I am sorry you were disappointed in your vacation home. Moasis is such a beauty, so I hate that someone does not love it as much as I do. Pest control is out quarterly, so I will see if they will go back out. We haven't heard that there were so few washcloths and towels from previous guests, but we will check that out immediately. I'm sorry you had these issues, and I hope you give the perfect beach home another chance. It is simply an amazing beach home. DIBR
We visit Dauphin Island several times each year, and this year decided to invite extended family from to come so we could have Thanksgiving together.
This house is very well setup for large groups, including lots of kitchen cookware that is sometimes lacking in rentals. We really appreciated that.
There were lots of sleeping options, and everything was clean and well cared for.
My only complaint is about parking. They allow only 3 vehicles, which is really difficult for a house that is advertised as sleeping 16. We hadn't been there for more than 15 minutes when we were called by the rental manager about parking (even though we had only 2 cars there at the time and we literally unloading our luggage). Overflow parking is at the center of the island 6 or 8 minutes away.

I'm sorry about the parking. It has become a very strict policy here on the island. They want to make sure all the houses on the street have an area and room to park. It is a beautiful home and I'm glad you guys did get to enjoy it. Thank you for choosing DIBR
This is a lovely property and had so many spaces available for our large family. The biggest plus is that the home is so close to the water... literally just steps away from the waves! The waves are close enough to lull you to sleep at night.... such great sleeping! We had a few issues (an air conditioner went out on us) that the property manager handled promptly, and there were a few issues that could not be fixed (the ice maker does not work, the kitchen faucet needs to be replaced, the bath towels are past their prime). The management employees we dealt with were kind, professional, and extremely responsive; I was very impressed with everyone who helped us. The property needs a good deep cleaning; the stove, oven, and kitchen equipment need a lot of attention. Overall, however, we loved our stay and would definitely stay here again. Dauphin Island is a family favorite, and this home has it all.

Thank you for the wonderful review. I will talk to the owner about the issues that were not fixed will you were here and will get those fixed immediately~DIBR
There was a storm and both cars were flooded ( 2019 Infinity Q50, 2014 Cadallic SRX we were stuck and had no where to park was offered a shuttle couldn’t get there roads were flooded to even drive needed a big truck to go through water. We were there for a wedding and due to parking and weather family couldn’t come we rented this place for family and we were stuck there couldn’t go to rehearsal dinner, Wednesday. Family could only come Saturday out of the days due to roads being under water. Rental place nice but tried to help. We wanted to stay Monday-Wednesday and try to have family come and owners would not allow and supposedly already booked. We will come back check the weather for May for a graduation and hopefully we will be able to go and not miss it due to rain, roads underwater, and where to park since the water washers ands floods cars where we were able to park. Also we will be filing a claim on car insurance to see how much damage our cars received and to trade in or sell we will be required to say they were flood and all leather and floors soaked. Missing rehearsal dinner very disappointed since our cars were flooded. After getting unstuck sand trying to park next to(not in their parking space and from Tennessee, couple who rented next to us VERY RUDE). Also for wedding, Friday was late over 2 hours had to find someone to jump off both cars because they were flooded had to walk to 5 houses before receiving assistance and all of us wearing formal dresses and suits all clothes drench in sweat. Just very upset with the owners not assisting us with this rental when money was spent. Also place was not very clean. Master bathroom with bedroom near kitchen had to wipe off dust around the whole tubs with own clean supplies, trash can holder jot on tracks, doors were split with woods being ripped, kitchen counters had to be wiped down when got there dried stuff all over counters by sink and counter in front of windows and last stove top I had to clean.

Gosh Joy I am so sorry about the issues that you had. I wanted you to know that guests were arriving on your departure day. We would always allow guest to extend their stay unless we had guests coming in the same day. The storm was rough, but you could still drive on the roads. I understand that you may have been reluctant to do that. We always send a message to our guests to advise and keep an eye out for the weather if we have weather coming in. You are not allowed to park on the road, but we do advise that you may park your car at the park and we will take you back to the beach home. I'm very sorry about the cars being damaged. You can always call the number left at the property with any issue you may have, and we will do whatever we can to help. Again, I'm sorry about what happened and hope everything worked out ok with the vehicles~DIBR
